Top 10 Oldest players to score century in One Day Internationals

Top 10 Oldest players to score century in One Day Internationals

Pakistan test skipper Misbah ul Haq received  a lot of praise recently when he scored a brilliant hundred in debut test at the English soil a few weeks ago. The 42 year old player played his first ever test in England and scored a beautiful hundred that laid the basis of victory for Pakistan. Pakistan won the match and eventually in the end drew the series to get ranked number one test team in the world. The whole world is still admiring the great captaincy from the ageless captain Misbah ul Haq that took Pakistan test side to the number 1 position in just two years’ span despite all the odds. In test format Pakistan is blessed with players like Misbah ul Haq and Younis Khan however in ODIs the situation is disastrous.

Oldest players to score century Misbah ul Haq

The 1992 world champions currently rank 9th in ICC ODI rankings and would surely play the qualifying round in the 2019 ODI world cup. The reason for such dismal performance from Pakistan is not a specific one however the departure of players like Misbah ul Haq is also a factor. The current test captain of Pakistan has announced his retirement from the shorter version of the game for quite a time now and unfortunately without scoring a single hundred in ODIs. Had he scored a hundred in ODI format he would have been one of the oldest players to score century in cricket. Speaking of the record, it is held by the UAE player Khurram Khan who made a hundred at the age of 43 years and 162 days back in 2014.

Oldest players to score century Jayasuriya

The other veteran players in oldest players to score century include Sanath Jayasuriya and Geoffrey Boycott. Former Indian opener and the highest run scorer in test cricket Sachin Tendulkar also scored a century at the age of 38y 327 days. Full list of oldest players to score century in ODIs is as under.
